Breeding Addon Chest + Other stuff
Items
It has so been requested that a Random Breeding Addon Chest be added to the USD Shop. As it contains five addon boxes, this saves the time (and a bit of money) of buying five one after another. Convenience FTW!
This is a reminder that PLBC artist positions are still open! If you are fabulous at coloring, you should come give it a shot. Click here. Demand for PLBCs is rising, and so is the queue, so we'd love some more talent on our team :)
In other news, one of our programmers got back to us and said he should be able to do the pet search within the next week. Let's sit tight and hope that's the case and no other unexpected circumstances come up :)

It's Raining Love Letters!
Site Update
Delivery! Delivery!
The Adore-a-Gram Lunaris has returned for a couple of weeks to supply us with seemingly endless pink and red envelopes inked with sweet nothings~
It seems there will be a Love Letter waiting for everyone in the Advent Calendar on February 3rd. How sweet!
Before you send your Love Letter zipping off through the Ay skies to a friend, a Valentine, or a stranger, pull up a chair and grab a Love Latte while I review how our annual mail event works. :3
Love Letter Event
Love Letters are sitting at a pretty R20 and can be found anywhere you can obtain R20 items (adventure, cooking, dailies, etc.). They will also randomly pop up in the Random Crap shop.
(As always, we will monitor the numbers and make sure that the letters aren't being too shy!)
Each time you send a card to a unique user (meaning, to an account you haven't sent a card to yet), you AND the recipient will each receive 1 Valentine Point.
You will be able to spend these points in the Seasonal Shop on a bunch of sweet treats!
(Tentative date for opening the shop is February 14th, and Love Letters will be findable and deliverable until the shop closes.)
To send a card to someone for Valentine Points, click on the Love Letter in your inventory and hit Use to bring up the prompt. We have a confirmation screen to ensure your letter reaches the correct destination safely!
Point Breakdown & Tally
If I send you a card, we both get 1 point!
If you want to send me a card in return, we both get 1 point again! (Aww, you're a peach. <3)
So that is 2 points for each of us for a card swap.
In my blushing flurry and moment of overwhelming emotion, I might want to send you a second card. I can do so, but neither of us will receive any additional points. (I hope you still appreciate the thought! ;~;)
You can view the Love Letters you've received, along with points you've accumulated here.
You can also review the Love Letters you have sent to others here.
*Please note: While you can insert a text message inside the letters, and I encourage you to do so, I would suggest using plain text only!*
If you're looking for somewhere to arrange letter swapping and sending, try swinging by Aywas Talk!
Our Love Letter event runs purely on community participation and rewards you for sending sweet notes to your peers, so take advantage of the opportunity to make someone's day. :)
Good luck with your letter writing and envelope licking!

PBC add-ons
Site Update
*GASP* Someone has been sending love notes to your pets and your PBC breeding pair has become a love triangle! :O
Of course now you would like to know if the Mysterious Platinum DNA can be applied to breedings already in queue. Yes you can!
All you have to do is send the DNA to me followed by a note indicating which breeding you would like to attach it to. After doing so please make sure you immediately add the link to the third parent to the breeding notes, it would be unfortunate if missing information would slow the queue down.
Additionally, I'm happy to announce that the Painted Bottle may also be added to your Platinum breedings. For more information, please review the freshly updated Platinum KB article.
As always, if there are any questions, feel free to join me in the status thread. :)

Welcome to February!
Site Update
Welcome to February!
Though February may be the shortest month of the year, it's going to be jam packed with new goodies, familiar favorites, and lots of love. :3
Let's kick off the second month of 2014 with two brand new batches of pets!
Show some love for the beautiful GP Shop pets looking for forever homes!
And be sure to visit the affectionate companions that await in the BP Shop!
If you colored one of these lovely pets, please contact Kyu (#1010) for your payment!
Make sure to send the PSDs for these pets in to [email protected] right away! Or I will break your crayons' collective heart.
Drink to a new month with our cherry-flavored Essence of February 2014!
This glass cordial (crafted in honor of cherry month) will turn your active pet into one of the February monthlies shown above.
The Premium Monthly Item is the Mysterious Platinum DNA, a PBC breeding add-on that mixes up genetics!
This Platinum Breeding Coin add on will let you include a third parent to influence your offspring. The third parent will not be on the profile of the offspring. Put the URL to the pet you own in the artist comments if you use this add on.
Our February birthday Lunaris isn't quite ready to bloom, but I will let you know as soon as it is!
(And we'll handle any necessary swaps/refunds for you asap.)
The new monthly contests have been announced!
However, there are a few changes I would like to highlight before you dive into your art program (they're good, I promise).
- We have brought back the USD payment option for the GP/BP Shop contests.
- The BP Shop contest payout for GP has been raised to 12 GP (up from 10).
- A link to the PSD file of your entry is now required for GP/BP Shop contests.
- All contest entries (GP/BP Shop and monthly custom game) now have a submission form and have had their templates spruced up!
(These changes are not retroactive and apply only to contests moving forward.)
We are hoping that these changes positively impact the amount, variety and quality of entries we receive. :3 Additional tweaks may be made in the future, but we'd like to see how this goes!
And without further ado, here are the contests:
March Monthly Pets - BP Shop: Enter
March Monthly Pets - GP Shop: Enter
March Monthly Customs
Theme: Pi Day
Good luck with your entries!
The Nova custom makers will remain in the GP/BP Shops this month and will rotate to the Premium Outlet in March, then will return to the GP/BP Shops for April and May.
We are also refreshing the Token genera list with...
... the Serafex! (Our mutant friend from this poll).
You can now upload your very own silly Serafex with Metal, Bronze, Blue or Gold Tokens.
Click the image above to download the PSD!
The Serafex does not have any unique rules, and you'll be seeing a coloration submission thread pop up for it soon!
Coding Corner
A monthly update from behind the scenes!
- the Adventure Revamp Team is hard at work! If you haven't visited the thread yet, you can peruse the pages to see what sorts of things this team is wrestling with.
- staff is focused on enhancing the Knowledge Base and removing outdated information/defunct pages from the site.
- we know that everyone is missing our handy search, which unfortunately has had some programming hiccups, so this task has been assigned to a new programmer who will be able to tackle it this month. You can check on this thread to see Slash's updates for more info.
There's plenty of other things we'll be tinkering this month, along with new surprises and events to look forward to, especially since love is in the air!
Love Letters: Coming soon to a lair near you!
(If you have any Love Letters hanging around from last year, DO NOT attempt to use them yet. There will be an announcement when it's safe to bombard one another with our favorite red and pink envelopes! And if you have no idea what I'm talking about because this is your first Valentine's Day with us, stay tuned! :D)
With lots of platonic love,
- Eri
